Important Case.
A few days ago Messrs A. Spain and
W. G. McCune, two salesmen of the
house of Gately & Conroy, of Charles
ton, W est Virginia, were arrested and
held for peddling clocks and other
goods without having obtained li
cense from the state and county. The
case was heard before Justice J. C.
Marcom and the defendants were
found guilty. Messrs Fuller & Snow
represented the state and Mr. J. C. L.
Harris the defendants. Mr. Harris
contended that the facts constituted
the defendants drummers and not in
any sense peddlers. As soon as the
trial was over before Justice Marcom
Mr. Harris proceeded to Baltimore
and obtained a writ of habeas corpus,
from Judge Bond, of the 'United
States Circuit Court, and the case is
set down for a hearing on September
2nd.
Mr. A. L. Sanderson, the manager
of the house in Charleston has been
in Raleigh since Friday last and is
determined to carry the case to the
Supreme Court of the United States
if necessary, in order to have a final
adjudication, Mr. Harris contending
that the traffic of the defendants con
stitutes commerce between the States
and is protected by the.recent decis
ions covering the "drummer" cases,
and that the State law is unconstitu
tional aa applied to the defendants.

A Splendid Opportunity.
The excursion to Wilmington on
Wednesday next, will, in many re
spects, be the most attractive given
this season. It should be remembered
that no pains have been spared to
render all who go as comfortable as
possible. This is the last opportuni
ty this season to visit the seacoast
and enjoy all the pleasures such a
trip affords. Messrs King, Lacy and
Sherwood are experienced in the
business and the public may rest as
sure! that the excursion will be con
ducted upon such a system as to meet
the expectations of all. The fare is
only $2.50 for the round trip, and
never before has as much enjoyment
been offered for so small a price. We
must think that a very large portion
oi our people win tame in tne occasion
mi ju ...
xney win never regret it.
X. C Wagon Factory.
We called at the Wagon Factory
this morning and found everybody
busy.life and energy in every depart
ment. Superintendent W. H. Hollo
way says they have the machinery
well in hand; that the employees had
learned their duties, and everything
was moving on nicely and eatisfacto
rily. We found President W. G. Up-
church and he told us the outlook of
the factory was very encouraging
that they had no trouble in obtain
ing a good supply of the best of tim
ber; that the employees having the
machinery so well in hand, that they
were making as good wagons as could
be made anywhere in the country
and as rapidly, taking in considera
ion the number of hands they work
They shipped a car load of wagons
today and they received an order this
morning for eleven wagons, and mai
had not been opened since Saturday
on account of Secretary W. H. Dodd's
illness. Mr. Upchurch says that or
ders are now coming in very rapidly;
that the farmers and merchants of
Raleigh and surrounding country are
taking hold of the wagons made by
this company in a manner that is most
encouraging. We hope the people
of Raleigh and the surrounding coun
try will take a still greater interest in
this institution, as it is ' one which
will help to build up our city and vi
cinity in a substantial way. it is or
fleered by our best citizens and busi
ness men.

The Concert. The oue given by
the colored people at Stokes Hall last
evening was a very creditable affair.

a high order of culture, and some of
her renditions were cf such a charact
er as to elicit tte wai mest applause
and highest appreciation of the many
whites present. She possesses a splen
did voice and it has been wtll trained.

The Beginning of the End
Has come; that means that this
week is the beginning of the end of
the reduced priced carpet eale Yes,
this week closes an opportunity which
we have offered you to buy a carpet
at figures that in all probability you
will never have offered you again. If
you have not already bought of us,
you still have the opportunity of do
ing so this week. We have sold a
great many carpets in the last two
weeks, but we still have some very
good grades to show you. We do not
say that we have "any grade that was
ever kept in Raleigh." VVe do not
believe we have, but we do say that
our stock is varied, and 33 J- per cent
under any you will find in the city in
price, that ought to be inducement
enough to satisfy you.don't you think
so ? At any rate that's all we are of
fering just now. New goods arriving
this week at
SWIXDELL'S.
Our New Department.
We will in future devote special at
tention to "Shoes," and we can always
supply you with the best makes,pret
